When I was feeling myself fall <br />you picked me up again <br />and taught me how to stand <br />you gave me strength to live <br />even through the sorrow <br />and every bit of pain <br /> <br />When I was down and alone <br />you held out your hand <br />and gave me a shoulder to lean on <br />showed me it was better not to recieve <br />but to help those in need <br />and you taught me how to give <br /> <br />When I was in doubt with anger <br />with a soul that wouldn't bleed <br />you showed me days of better <br />and taught me how to believe <br />you let me see out there <br />that there's more to what we have here <br /> <br />When I just gave up on everything <br />felt like I lost it all <br />hiding behind my grief <br />losing faith in my belief <br />you showed me a new tomorrow <br />of what the morning sun would bring <br /> <br />When I was ready to leave <br />you said to open your heart <br />and you will find me <br />I am always beside you <br />we are never apart <br />even when your eye's were blind <br />and you couldn't see <br />I never left you behind <br /> Spiritwind-2010<br /><br />Spiritwind Wood<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-soul-that-wouldn-t-bleed/
